After
coming home fired up from their 2017 tours (which included UK/Euro/US dates
with Drive-By Truckers, Dream Syndicate, Fruit Bats, The Cribs) Eyelids headed
into various studios in Portland to finish up a new batch of songs they had
been working on. They ended up with a perfect combination of the lilting,
powerful hooks of their recent Peter Buck-produced album or alongside the
spookier, more meditative moments from their debut 854. Now Eyelids could always write a earworm of a
song (which is why or ended up many best of 2017 lists) and from the minute the
needle hits this vinyl, there it is again. With its rolling and intricate
jangle the band (like XTC, R.E.M. and The Byrds - their three biggest
comparisons) make their three distinct personalities/guitars become an
amazingly powerful whole. Sonically there is a new layer to their sound. Guitars
flutter and dive; strings and harmonies collide. From the beautiful
opening chords of the title track to the screams of their cover of Gun Club's
"Sex Beat" (with
Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck throwing down alongside them) this
is their most diverse offering yet. The tipped over folk of "Cannon
& Dee" with its lush harmonies and the harsh melancholy of
Masterpiece (Wanna Die) make for an emotional ride.As you continue the journey, youll discover
a newly remastered live Eyelids performance from last year at the legendary
Monty Hall (which is run by the equally legendary station WFMU). The show
was a mess of great songs, crazed banter, special guests and features
highlights from many of the last 9 (!) releases the band has put forth into the
world over the last 4 years. Eyelids are getting ready for more touring
and recording in 2019, in the meantime you are invited to let this sonic
celebration of where Eyelids are at the moment, and what they are moving
towards sink in!GREAT!!

seventh album has just arrived!“Since Description: “Listening to this new collection, a tribute to rockers Nada Surf, with less-than-zero knowledge of the band or its songs, turns out to be the smartest move I've made in awhile. Going in blind, I was able to judge the songs on their own merits and I didn't have to play the ‘Which Version is Better?’ game. These are the onl
